The Yuman are a tribe of Native Americans from what is now Southern California. Folk songs in Yuma culture are said to be given to a person while dreaming. Many individuals who are in emotional distress go to a secluded area for a few weeks, there to receive new songs (Herzog, pp. 1-6, cited in Nettl, p. 152).
